Rodolfo Peraza
Bio:
Rodolfo Peraza graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Camagüey, Cuba (1999) and earned an MFA in sculpture from ISA, the University of the Arts in Havana, Cuba (2005).
He is the founder of Fanguito Estudio, an independent artist-run space in Havana dedicated to new media art. Since 2007 he has been developing software for video games and interactive works and showing internationally in places such as LOOP Barcelona, Perez Art Museum Miami, Mocca Museum in Toronto, the XXXI Biennial of Pontevedra in Galicia, and the XII Havana Biennial. Peraza’s work is represented in collections such as the Jumex collection in
Mexico City and AGO Museum in Toronto. Questions of isolation, loneliness, and identity are constant in Peraza’s work, while his concerns go beyond the confines of geography through technology. Using the internet, social media, and animation, his body of work explores the
moral, spiritual, and social modes of conduct governing society. He is particularly interested in big data analysis and digital culture and how these overlap with the visual arts.
